Good to hear your figured out the error and it is working again!

If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!

The attach option will only show when you’re logged in and post a comment…

I did look at the screen capture … the only plugin I know for sure that manages custom roles and capabilities is s2member.

How often does that plugin release updates? Is it possible updates to it coincide with the role capabilities resetting?

The is a fatal error in the Contact Form 7 JavaScript which is causing any JavaScript loaded after the error not to run which includes the JavaScript for Connections. Deactivating Contact Form 7 will/should return cMap back to working order.

There are no known conflicts with Connections and Contact Form 7. I’ve supported many users who used the plugin without issue. Maybe try Ninja Forms instead.

Hope that helps!

This is nearly always a fatal JavaScript error which is almost caused my another plugin or the theme. You can determine if this is the case by opening the page in Chrome, hit the F12 key and then click the Console tab. All page rendering errors should be listed and the cause of the error and file on the right hand side of the console. Sometimes the file name is enable to figure out which plugin is the source other times you have to mouse over the filename, the full path will then be shown. The full path nearly always can be used to figure which plugin is the source. This is the best advice I can give without a link to the pages having the issues.

If you can share a link to the pages with the errors I can take a look and possibly provide a solution.

Roles and capabilities are persistent. WordPress stores them in the database, so the only way they can be remove is a plugin deletes them. The only code in Connections that can remove capabilities can only be run on the Connections : Roles admin page, there’s an nonce validation in place to ensure that. Connections does have reset code, but that is the same is running the reset all capability option, it does remove them from the core WordPress roles, only custom roles. Connections, a couple years ago, would reset roles on updates but that has long since be removed. The only way that can happen is if the “flag” that is stored in the db that says, hey, the capabilities have been added don’t reset doesn’t exist or has been removed. There’s no code in Connection that can remove that flag. It is there forever…

With all that said and you having to do a “full” reset to fix duplicate data, that tells me something else is mucking with the role capabilities perhaps when they are updated. My suggestion, no elegant sorry, is after each plugin update you do (not just Connections, every plugin) check the roles settings. If we’re lucky, we can figure out what plugin is resetting capabilities.

Can you copy/paste a list of all your active plugins … maybe a few will jump out as possibilities and I can look at their code.

I always love coming across Youtube videos demoing how to do stuff with Connections!

The easiest way, to answer your question, is to purchase a template with include category filtering and keyword search. cMap is the most popular, by far, it offers both plus the category drop down, the user can live search the categories right in the drop down.

I hope that thoroughly answers your question!

Could I get a copy of the CSV file and a temp admin account so I can take a close look? A screenshot of he mapping would be very helpful too.

@ Alexa

You could use the shortcode on the page three times, limit it to the single entry per shortcode instance. The down side, you would have to disable all list and entry actions as well as the search and the category selection or they would display one for each shortcode instance.

Another option is to to use CSS. Something like this would likely be close:

#cn-excerpt-plus .cn-list-row-alternate, 
#cn-excerpt-plus .cn-list-row {
  max-width: 30%;
  display: inline-block;
  float: left;
  margin-right: 3%;
}

The CSS would probably have to be tweaked a bit… I hope one of these options helps!

That is the correct CSS, if it is being overridden, try adding the !important flag, like so:
#cn-metabox-visibility.cn-metabox {display:none !important;}

That should do the trick.
